Amylin sensitivity in post-traumatic headache
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study checks if a natural substance called amylin might make your headache worse after a head injury. The researchers will see how your body reacts to amylin compared to a placebo, which could help find new treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at whether a natural substance called amylin can trigger migraine attacks in people who get migraines without aura. If you join, you'll receive an infusion and be monitored to see if you get a migraine, which could help researchers understand migraine causes.
This trial tests a substance that activates adrenomedullin receptors, which may be a new way to treat migraines. It may help people who have migraines without aura and aren't on preventive migraine medications.
This trial tests whether giving eptinezumab (an antibody that blocks a pain protein) soon after a head injury can reduce the severity and duration of headaches that start after trauma. If you've had new or worsening headaches within the past 8 weeks after a head injury, this treatment might help prevent them from becoming chronic.
This study compares two non-drug treatments for people with persistent headaches that started or worsened after a mild head injury (concussion). One treatment is behavior therapy, which teaches skills to manage pain, and the other is education about headaches. The goal is to see which approach helps more.
This trial tests whether people with long-term headache after a mild head injury have an abnormal reaction to a substance called adrenomedullin, which may play a role in causing headaches. You will receive adrenomedullin and a placebo in separate sessions to see how your headache responds.
This trial tests if Botox injections can reduce headache days in people with persistent headaches after a mild head injury. It may help if you have headaches at least 15 days a month.
